That is not due to miscollimation. Because the red laser diode beam has polarization, the width of the diffracted circle lines varies from narrow to wider with a 90 degree rotation.
Sorry, my poor symantics, i should have been clearer and mentioned my concern as being the spacing between the light rings, which can be clearly seen to be different left to right - not the thickness of the light ring itself. I would agree that the light ring characteristics can vary as you rotate the laser but your actually looking for the spacing to be equalised and centred during rotation.
